Chapter 2 - At The Heart Of The Storm Ch 2

Chapter 2[br]
[br]
Flaky is surprised by the voice and turns around to see a female porcupine standing near him, she wore a light green dress and had a white daisy in her hair. Her fur was colored a light blue and her eyes were a grass-green color. She was smiling at the picture and turned to face Flaky.[br]
[br]
???: They moved out of here five years ago, no one knows why they did that. [br]
[br]
Flaky: So this place was abandoned by them, I wonder why? [br]
[br]
???: Maybe this house is haunted.[br]
[br]
Flaky started to sweat a bit: H-h-h-h-h-haunted!!??[br]
[br]
Flaky looks at her with an expression of fear, she only smiles.[br]
[br]
The girl laughs: I'm only kidding, this place isn't haunted. If it was there would be a lot of ghosts floating around. By the way my name is Karen.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Whew, I'm Flaky nice to meet you. So do you live here?[br]
[br]
Karen: No I just came here because of the storm thats going on out there. *points at a window*[br]
[br]
Flaky and Karen look out of the window to see that it was raining harder that before. Both of them stared out of the window with looks of fear.[br]
[br]
Karen: Ohhhhh crap, now I'm stuck here. I hate it when that happens.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Well I'm stuck here also. A sweatdrop appears on the side of his head. So we're stuck here.[br]
[br]
Karen: I guess so.[br]
[br]
The two of them looked at the window for a few minutes, until Karen's stomach decided to break the silence.[br]
[br]
Karen blushes: I guess I didn't eat when I left home. She let out a nervous laugh.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Well I'm a little bit hungry myself, let find something to eat.[br]
[br]
Karen: Okay.[br]
[br]
They leave the living room and head down the hallway. As they continued down the hallway Flaky decided to strike up a conversation.[br]
[br]
Flaky: So Karen how did you know them?[br]
[br]
Karen: Well I was a friend of there kids and I used to come over here and play with them pretty much everyday, so I got to know them very well.[br]
[br]
Flaky nods at what she said and smiles.[br]
[br]
Flaky: So thats how you knew them, thats good.[br]
[br]
Karen: Right and since they moved away I've been living here ever since.[br]
[br]
Flaky: So you call this home?[br]
[br]
Karen nods: Of course I call this home, why wouldn't I? I mean there's nowhere else for me to go is there?[br]
[br]
Flaky Well you could live with me and......[br]
[br]
Karen: Nah, no offense but I don't want to get in the way of your relationship with Petunia. *smiles*[br]
[br]
Flaky stops walking and stares.[br]
[br]
Flaky: How did you know that I was....[br]
[br]
Karen: I have the ability to read peoples minds. She grins[br]
[br]
Flaky: That's weird.[br]
[br]
Karen: Come on Flaky it's not weird, it's just a gift I have. A giggle escaped her lips[br]
[br]
Flaky blinks and then shakes his head.[br]
[br]
The two continue down the hall until they reach the kitchen. In it was a normal table, a coffee pot, a refrigerator and of course a sink. Karen went towards the refrigerator and opened it to discover only a piece of stale bread, moldy cheese, and a rat sitting near a makeshift fire. She stared a the rat and the rat stared at her for a few seconds.[br]
[br]
Rat apoke in a squeaky voice: WHAT DO YOU WANT HUH, HUH!? WANNA FIGHT?[br]
[br]
Karen sweatdrop: O......kay? Strange and kind of creepy.[br]
[br]
Flaky was looking through the pantries for canned food, he wasn't having any luck in find any.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Damn is there anything here to......Huh?[br]
[br]
Flaky sees a can of corn inside one of the pantries, he reached out and took it with a smile across[br]
his face.[br]
[br]
Flaky: Hey Karen I found something.[br]
[br]
Karen slams the door shut: Oh what?[br]
[br]
Flaky shows the can of corn to her, she smiles.[br]
[br]
Karen: Now we need a can opener and........Crap.[br]
[br]
Flaky: What?[br]
[br]
Karen: I forgot they don't have a can-opener since they took it with them. She laughs nervously.[br]
[br]
Flaky: So what are we going to do with this?[br]
[br]
Karen: I don't know.[br]
[br]
Flaky tosses the can onto the floor with a look of annoyance on his face, he went toward the kitchen sink to watch the rain through the window. As he approached the window a flash of lighting surprised him alittle.[br]
[br]
Karen: Hey Flaky do you have anything in that bag?[br]
[br]
Flaky reaches into the bag: Well I have a hammer, an acorn, a glove, a bag of chips and a sandwich.[br]
[br]
Karen stares at the sandwich, Flaky blinks.[br]
[br]
Flaky: I forgot about that.[br]
[br]
Karen: Are you going to share that?[br]
[br]
Flaky: Yeah.[br]
[br]
Karen smiles: Yay![br]
[br]
Flaky cuts the sandwich in half and the two sit at the table to eat. [br]
